Pull

Qi Mu didn't want to go home.

I don't want to be seen by that person in such a distressed state at this moment.

The hand knocking on the door stopped at a position 0.5 cm away from the door panel, and she slumped down. She gritted her teeth and turned around suddenly to go downstairs. Whether she was looking for a classmate, going to a hotel, or even sleeping on the street, she didn't want to face the disappointment and helplessness of that person. look.

"Qi Mu?" The sound of opening the door was accompanied by an urgent cry, which was very clear in the empty corridor.

Qi Mu stood still and clenched his fists.

"Qi Mu, your cell phone is out of battery? I'm worried if you don't come back so late." Lin Yan came out and saw the figure in the corridor standing with his back to the door. Stop her, will she leave?

Qi Mu finally turned his head slowly, grinning without a smile: "Haven't slept yet?"

Although the lights in the corridor were dim, Lin Yan could still see the child's appearance clearly at the moment. The wet hair was sweat or water, and there was a morbid paleness on the tired face. The clothes and trousers were stained with blood, and there was still a faint faintness in the air. There was a faint smell of alcohol.

"Come here." Lin Yan said, his tone as gentle and soft as ever.

Qi Mu obediently went back upstairs as if hypnotized, and obediently walked into the room.

Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, closed the door, and hurriedly checked the wound on the child.After looking at it, I found that the clothes and trousers were also wet, but they might have been half-dried by the wind on the way back, and they were not clinging to the skin.The bloodstains on the sleeves were the most obvious. Lin Yan carefully rolled up the cuffs for her, and a deep and long wound was slowly exposed.

Lin Yan gasped.

"It's been dealt with simply, it's not a problem." Qi Mu's voice was extremely hoarse, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared straight at Lin Yan with a strange expression, and he didn't know what emotion was surging deep in his dark pupils.

"Are you fighting with someone again?" He is really a bad boy who will never change after repeated admonition, which makes people extremely headache.

Noticing Lin Yan's slightly frowned eyebrows, Qi Mu snorted heavily: "It's 'again' fighting, how is it?" When speaking of the word 'again', he intentionally emphasized his tone a bit, emphasizing it forcefully.

In fact, Lin Yan immediately regretted what he said just now. The child looks cold and smelly on the outside, as if invulnerable and insensitive, but inside he is like a small flower in a greenhouse, delicate and sensitive, and can't listen to any harsh words.

"Are there any other injuries?" Lin Yan knew that children hate preaching, so he didn't continue to pursue the cause of the fight.

Hearing Caring's words, Qi Mu turned away noncommittal, raised his eyes and said arrogantly: "Am I that weak?"

If you are not weak, you will not make yourself into what you are now.Lin Yan sighed from the bottom of his heart, and pushed the child into the bathroom: "Hurry up and take a bath, and I'll help you re-bandage the wound after washing."

The hour hand of the wall clock had already passed two o'clock, Qi Mu could recite Lin Yan's shift schedule, and knew that she would be on the morning shift tomorrow, so she said in a very indifferent tone: "I can bandage myself, I don't need your mother-in-law."

"It's hard to put a bandage on one hand." Lin Yan was naturally worried.

"I said yes, but you can't understand Chinese?"

"...Then, okay." Lin Yan didn't insist anymore.

Qi Mu walked into the bathroom and closed the door with a "bang".

Even if the warm water sprayed continuously on his face and body, it still couldn't get rid of the bone-chilling coldness in Qi Mu's heart.

That was a strong sense of dread.

If Yang Riqing was more ruthless and arranged for a few men to share the same room with them... Or if the dose of the drug was a little heavier and they completely lost their minds...

Regardless of the former or the latter, she was terrified.

It was just a fight, which already made that person frown helplessly. If those "what ifs" really happened, would that person completely despair of her, turn around and leave without nostalgia?

While thinking wildly, he washed hastily. He took a cold shower in the bar and walked on the street. Even in the midsummer temperature, his heart was icy cold. The last bit of drunkenness and drug power dissipated in the heat, and his mind was unprecedentedly sober. .

Guo Bingbing's question kept ringing in my ears—do you really have someone you like?

really have?

After drying off the water droplets on his body, he put on his pajamas, and absently opened the door and walked out of the bathroom.Is that person already asleep?

While thinking that way, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure walking in the living room, and couldn't help being startled, his gaze moved over as if attracted by a magnet, just in time to meet the other person's gaze.

"Did you wash?" Lin Yan's smile was more refreshing than that of a child who just finished bathing, and his crooked eyebrows and eyes were full of bewitching tenderness.

"You...why are you still here?" Qi Mu opened his mouth, uttering words with difficulty.

"I made supper... I think, you should be hungry." The dishes on the table are not rich dishes, but a bowl of yellow...?Qi Mu walked over and sat down, picked up a spoon and stirred it, the aroma was tangy, it turned out to be mashed potatoes with milk.

"Milk and potatoes, this combination is good for sleep." Lin Yan smiled and pointed to the bowl of carefully prepared supper. She didn't know where she heard it from.

Qi Mu tasted a spoonful and asked blankly, "Have you tried the taste?"

"Eh?" Isn't it delicious?Lin Yan shook his head, "I made it for the first time, because I have to go to bed after eating, so I didn't add sugar." She remembered that this child tends to have heavy tastes, and this bowl of food must be tasteless and difficult for her to swallow. .

The child put down the spoon, pushed the bowl in front of her, stared at her, and said nothing.

Lin Yan could understand her thoughts, picked up a spoon and took a bite. The soft mashed potatoes were mixed with a thick milky aroma. Because there was no seasoning, it could taste the original mellow taste.

"Not bad." Lin Yan licked the corner of his mouth.

Qi Mu said: "Cut, Huang Po is selling melons and boasting. Also, do you want to make me fat by doing so much?"

Lin Yan took a visual inspection of the child's physical development, no matter how he looked at it, he looked malnourished. To be honest, he would actually look better if he was fatter.But good advice is hard on the ear, and most children won't listen to it.

"Then half of each person?" Lin Yan had no choice but to suggest.

"En." Qi Mu raised his eyebrows, and agreed without being too picky.

"Then you eat first." Lin Yan stood up as he spoke, and before he could take a step, he was grabbed by the child.

"Tossing and tossing will be dawn, if you don't want to eat my saliva, I can let you eat it first." Qi Mu said "Let", but his fierce tone was not at all submissive and gentle.

Lin Yan didn't sit down, and explained with a smile: "I didn't go to the kitchen to get the bowl, I went to the room to get the first-aid kit."

It was only then that Qi Mu remembered that he had a wound on his forearm, and he didn't care when he didn't mention it, but now that she mentioned it, he felt the pain from the wound.

Letting go, let Lin Yan leave his seat, his gaze followed the figure until the walls of the room blocked her view.

"Tsk!" Qi Mu scratched at the hair that had already started to grow irritably, and sighed in a voice only he could hear, "Didn't I tell you to leave your mother-in-law, it's almost dawn and you have supper..."

Unconsciously, he picked up the bowl of milk and mashed potatoes, the temperature on the wall of the bowl permeated into his palm, and flowed to his heart little by little along the blood vessels, miraculously diluting the coldness shrouded in his heart.

It was so simple, it made her feel at ease and no longer anxious.

When Lin Yan came out with the first aid kit, the child had obediently eaten half a bowl of mashed potatoes, and was just sitting on the seat in a daze. The bright fluorescent lamp clearly reflected the little confusion and confusion on the child's face. , She is like a lost lamb.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Qi Mu immediately returned to the fierceness of the past. She glanced at Lin Yan and said lightly: "Just give me the medicine box."

"Shall I help you?"

"You are clumsy and will only make my wounds worse." When the child said this, he didn't think of Lin Yan's occupation for a while, and after he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong, but he didn't bother to justify himself. He just curled his lips and continued, "Take Go to bed after eating the rest of the stuff."

If Mashed Potato could understand human language, she would probably jump up and protest... Lin Yan blinked, but finally accepted the child's awkward kindness, put the medicine box in front of her, picked up the bowl, and started to eat slowly.

The child's proficiency in handling the wound is definitely not inferior to that of a professional surgeon. Lin Yan was inexplicably shocked to see it.

"Are you often injured?" I still couldn't help asking.

Without raising his head, the child concentrated on applying medicine to the wound on his forearm.

"People are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed."

Lin Yan couldn't hold back all of a sudden, and laughed out loud.The child had never said a single witty remark in front of her, but now that he suddenly made such a remark, it was a bit unacceptable.

Qi Mu didn't seem to realize that there was something wrong with what he said. Hearing Lin Yan's laughter, he couldn't help but look at her.

"What are you laughing at?" The suspicious eyes suddenly turned into surprise when they touched the other party's smiling face, and then were replaced by a complex emotion.

Although Lin Yan often had a smile on his face, it was rare for him to smile so genuinely and presumptuously as now.The eyebrows and eyes are bent into a crescent moon in the sky, and the originally gentle and picturesque facial features are now more vivid and beautiful, making people unable to look away for a moment.

"Have you ever had a boyfriend?" Qi Mu asked abruptly, shaking off a roll of gauze with one hand, and began to bandage it.

Lin Yan paused, opened his eyes wide in surprise, and shook his head.

"What about the girlfriend?" The child asked even more unimaginable words, lowered his head and bit the corner of the gauze, and tied a beautiful bow with one hand.

"Huh?" Lin Yan continued shaking his head.

"Haven't you ever liked anyone? What have you been doing for more than 20 years?" The child stared at her in disbelief.

Lin Yan felt that it was very necessary to distinguish for herself: "I work part-time while studying, so I don't have time to think about other things." Moreover, the meaning of life is not just for falling in love.

"Now I'm married in a daze, let alone think about it." Qi Mu coolly added for her.

Lin Yan, who didn't understand why he suddenly turned to this topic, was caught off guard and embarrassed. It was strange to think about discussing love affairs with a child, and it was his own child.

She didn't answer Qi Mu's words, but silently picked up the bowl, and drank all the remaining mashed potatoes in one go.

"Okay, let's go to sleep." Lin Yan said.

The child stared at her for two seconds, then pointed to her lips with his finger: "It's touched."

"Eh?" Lin Yan subconsciously stretched out his tongue to lick the corner of his mouth, but his arm was suddenly grabbed by a force, and he fell into the child's arms involuntarily.

"It's here." Qi Mu didn't give her any chance to struggle, he lowered his head and sucked her moist lips.
